loop and vhost/scsi do their target cmd submission from driver workqueues. This allows them to avoid an issue where the backend may block waiting for resources like tags/requests, mem/locks, etc and that ends up blocking their entire submission path and for the case of vhost-scsi both the submission and completion path. This patch adds a helper drivers can use to submit from a LIO workqueue. This code will then be extended in the next patches to fix the plugging of backend devices. We are only converting vhost/loop initially, but the workqueue based submission will work for other drivers and have similar benefits where the main target loops will not end up blocking one some backend resource.
